Server Quality Checklist

75%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v1.0.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: listing entities (campaigns, ad groups, keywords, orgs), fetching reports at different levels (campaign, keyword, search terms), and a health check. Descriptions explicitly differentiate them and guide usage, so an agent can easily select the right tool.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (e.g., list_campaigns, get_keyword_report). The exception is 'health', which is a single word but is a common convention for health endpoints. Overall, naming is predictable and coherent.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose: listing and reporting on Apple Search Ads entities. No tool feels redundant, and the number is appropriate for both human users and automated agents.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool surface covers the main read-only operations: listing campaigns, ad groups, keywords, orgs, and fetching reports for campaigns, keywords, and search terms. However, the description of get_campaign_report references get_ad_group_report, which is not included, creating a minor gap. No mutation tools are provided, but this is consistent with a reporting-focused server.

  • Average 4.6/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored.

How to sync the server with GitHub?

Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states read-only, authentication requirement, results grouping by country/region, inclusion of grand totals, and default time range/granularity. Lacks details on rate limits or error behavior but is sufficient for typical use.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and provide necessary context without unnecessary detail. Every sentence adds value.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    No output schema, but description lists expected metrics, grouping, defaults, and authentication. It references sibling tools for obtaining required IDs. Could be improved by mentioning pagination or data limits, but overall complete for a reporting tool.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a clear description. The description does not add additional parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description explicitly states 'Fetch performance metrics for targeting keywords' and lists specific metrics (impressions, taps, TTR, etc.). It clearly differentiates from the sibling tool get_search_terms_report by stating that tool shows actual user queries.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines5/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    Provides explicit guidance on when to use the alternative tool ('Use get_search_terms_report to see the actual user queries') and mentions prerequisites ('Requires ASA authentication; read-only'). Also indicates default parameters.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosure. It states the tool is read-only, requires ASA authentication, returns keyword metadata (text, match type, bid amount, status), and supports pagination with default and maximum limits. However, it does not cover possible error conditions or rate limits.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single, well-structured paragraph that front-loads the purpose, then covers constraints, alternatives, and pagination details. Every sentence adds essential information with no redundancy.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description covers the main functional aspects: purpose, return content, authentication, pagination, and differentiation from related tools. It could have mentioned the response structure or error handling, but it is fairly complete for a listing tool.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    All parameters are described in the input schema with full coverage. The description adds value by explaining authentication requirements and pagination defaults, though it does not provide additional semantic depth beyond what the schema already offers.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool lists targeting keywords for a specific Apple Search Ads ad group, using specific verbs and identifying the resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_keyword_report.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description provides clear context: it is read-only, requires ASA authentication, and explicitly mentions that performance metrics should be retrieved using get_keyword_report. It also explains pagination limits, giving good guidance on when to use the tool.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It describes return values and non-destructive nature. Lacks error handling details but sufficient for a simple health check.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two concise sentences with front-loaded purpose. No wasted words; every sentence adds necessary information.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    With zero parameters and no output schema, the description fully covers purpose, usage, and return expectations. No gaps remain.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    No parameters exist, so description adds value by clarifying expected output and usage context. Baseline 4 applies.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool checks if the server is running and reachable, with specific return values (server name, version, timestamp). It distinctly differs from sibling tools that focus on data retrieval.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    Explicitly advises to use before making API calls, and notes no authentication required. Could strengthen by mentioning not to use for data operations, but context is clear.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It mentions authentication requirement ('Requires ASA authentication') and lists return fields, but does not disclose potential limitations (e.g., rate limits, error handling, pagination). Adequate but not exceptional.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Three sentences, each necessary and front-loaded: purpose, usage guidance, return data. No wasted words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given zero parameters, no output schema, and a simple list operation, the description covers all needed information: what it does, authentication, usage timing, and return fields. Completely sufficient.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    No parameters exist (baseline 4). The description adds value by detailing what the return data includes (org ID, name, currency, timezone, payment model, assigned role names), which is beyond the empty schema.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the verb 'List' and resource 'organizations' within the context of Apple Search Ads. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_campaigns by specifying 'organizations' and includes the qualifier 'accessible with configured credentials'.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines5/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
